Almost Wordless Wednesday

If only it were this peaceful around here today...Unfortunately, today has been anything but peaceful. Dh is frantically trying to book tickets to China. Not an easy task considering we have 6 days notice. I am trying to figure out how to get them packed in less than a week. Normally this wouldn't be that bad, but being nine months pregnant, I move slow and I can't concentrate.

My sister is back in the hospital after a very rough morning. They are running some tests now, but I know she was really hoping to avoid going back. I think the way she has been putting it lately is "It is easy to get in, but impossible to get out." The ten-year old son of my step sister is also in the hospital on a ventilator and feeding tube.

I have this terrible pit in my stomach from worry, anxiety, and being overwhelmed-- either that or the bazillion Christmas cookies I keep eating with all this stress. With all I have to do, I still just want to go to bed.

The days are long, but the years are short...

I tell myself there are memories of my children I will never forget - and there are. There are also so many little day-to-day things that I do forget, or I forget how important they seemed, or the way they made me feel. This blog is to remind me of those little things.

About Me

I am a Catholic, SAH, homeschooling mom. I have six beautiful children, two through adoption. We also have many little ones in heaven praying for us. I have an amazing husband who tolerates my college football and coffee obsessions, he even cooks and mops the floor.
I am also blessed with a great extended family and good friends.
